Tempura Japanese
Tempura anchors the meal here, but the chef trained in traditional Kyoto cuisine first, and it shows. A one-Michelin-star dining room in Higashiyama, it opens with old-school standards like simmered Pacific herring with aubergine before the tempura arrives, nama-fu and Kyoto vegetables cooked with the kind of restraint that reads as confidence. Dried sea cucumber gonads appear as a casual appetizer, which is one way to know you're in serious hands.
